I'm not a big artist. But what do you think about my idea of a notebook-sticker?

your idea is nice i think you should add a border thought

Umm, i thought of redirecting that Windows 7 hype to Linux Mint and came up with this flyer concept (only the front page is done, the back page will be green and have some info about mint ). A total of 4 flyers can be printed on a A4 paper at 300dpi. I wanted the 4 flyers to fit perfectly, but seems i miscalculated a bit and a small part needs to be cut out . I'm eager to know what do you guys think about this concept, here's the preview

Thats right. The border is unclean. It was just a 5 minute concept/preview.I was inpirated by the sticker on my notebook, which says "Designed for Windows XP" and thought why must the hardware be designed to fit the OS? I know this sticker could be understood wrong, so I wanted to know, what you think.

Nice idea! I like the creativity in some of the posts. Is there a place in the wiki to post and collect the promotional ideas?

It's simple, has the logo, the name and the tagline "from freedom came elegance". I didn't get the care to trim everything to look xtra nice, but still it is complimented when I open the little guy around in cafés and libraries. In fact, I even got people to try Mint on their machines just because of their curiosity!

Also, I'm about to start my exam period at university right now, but after that is through I'll see if there is anything left to be done!

I think this is an excellent start as far as real world advertising goes. People will see the logo and wonder what it is. Curiosity is always a pretty big motivation for me to try something new. I think this could draw a lot of attention. like you said, people will ask and may even give it a try. Another thing I thought would be cool is to replace the "designed for windows" sticker on the front of the machine with the mint logo and "From Freedom Came Elegance". kicks the crap out of the windows sticker. Just thought I'd throw my random idea out there in case it's any good. Let me know what every one thinks.

Now that person's got the idea! With a little spit & polish, that ad could easily feature in print media, IMO. That blogger has a keen eye for advertising / getting a message across clearly. Some lessons to take note of, I reckon....

as I have been wanting a Linux Mint branded USB memory stick for ages.

I think also we should get Mint branded T-shirts etc. It's amazing how that kind of things bound you to community and motivate to contribute. A part of the price could go to Mint maintenace costs. I really want my Mint T-shirt for summer!

Everything that could be possible stuff to sale should be added to Mint Official store under Services. There were some people who designed stickers, it would be nice if they could be available to everyone.
